About this game
A Journey Through Personal Narratives in The Book of Distance
The Book of Distance redefines storytelling in virtual reality by intertwining mechanical sculpture, film, and stage techniques. This innovative PC title invites players into a deeply personal narrative crafted from family archives, fostering an emotional connection that resonates throughout the experience. With a compelling mix of 2D and 3D art inspired by Japanese woodblock prints, the game transports players on a poignant journey across time and space.
Artistic Inspiration from Culture and Family
The artistic direction draws heavily from traditional Japanese aesthetics. Hand-crafted sets evoke a sense of nostalgia, as players navigate through scenes that resemble the meticulous detail of classic woodblock prints. Each visual element contributes to an atmosphere rich in cultural heritage, making exploration as much about the art as the narrative itself. The character design is equally evocative, bringing forth emotions tied to family history and memories.
